A LITTLE FUN AT o

DO not be afraid of a little fun at
home, good people. Do not shut up
your house lest the sun should fade
your carpets; and your heerts, least a
laugh should shake down a few of the
musty old cobwebs that are hanging
there. If you want to ruin your sons,
let them think that all mirth and social
Enjoyment must be left at the thresh-
hold without when they come home
at night. When once a home is re-
garded as only a place to eat, drink
and sleep in, the work is begun that
ends in gambling houses and reckless
degradation. Young people must have
fun and relaxation somewhere. If
they do not find it at their own hearth
stones, they will seek it at other and
less profitable places. Therefore, let
the fire burn brightly in winter, and
let the doors and windows be cheer
fully thrown open in summer, and
make the homestead delightful with
those little arts hal parents so well
understand. Do not repress the buoy
ant spirits of your children. Half an
hour of merriment within doors, and
merriment Of a home, blots out the re-
memberance of many a care and an
noyance during the day; and the best
safeguard that they can take with
them into the world is the unseen III
fuence of a bright little home sanctum.
